Shropshire taxi drivers’ anger over blanket fares Taxi drivers across Shropshire have reacted angrily to new blanket fares which have been welcomed by councillors – in a development billed as the first battle of a long war. Moves to bring in a unified fare structure and overhaul licenses of all Hackney carriages in Shropshire were backed by the council’s strategic licensing committee yesterday and will come into force if backed by Shropshire council’s cabinet next month. But the steps to bring about a “common set of conditions” have been met with fierce opposition from cab drivers who claim the zones need to remain to protect the unique conditions of each area. Under the proposals, five operating areas based on the former borough and district councils would be abolished in favour of one zone. The new fee card will be introduced on March 5 – providing no representations are made to the committee in the next 14 days. Read more: http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2011 ... z1ED4rBHQe |
